NOEL GALA-AHA: Roger Daltrey's Teenage Cancer Trust are going to have a big charity week again, featuring Alan Partridge and something that's being described as as a 'rock supergroup'. That would be Noel Gallagher, Liam Gallagher and Gem, with Zak Starkey on drums. So, in other words not quite all of Oasis and a session drummer whose main schtick is being Ringo's son. The word "super" really has become devalued in the last few years, hasn't it? The shop round the corner from us has upgraded itself from a MiniMart to a Supermarket, and on that basis we'd suggest that far from being a supergroup, what we're really seeing here is a minigroup.
